[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cheri7:
Greetings, I am a newbie who recently got the X10 mini which I love, but I have had days of troubles trying to get Nimbizz and Google Voice configured to make free calls. An awesome developer named "fishsticksfromguam" made this program called "Advanced GV Caller" which I purchased, and could not get to work. I followed all of his helpful instructions, but it still will not work properly. Is anyone else having these problems or can anyone give advice?

The errors I get are:

With A.GV Dialer: it says GV is calling my phone and either the phone call just doesn't go through, or it says that my GV number is not set for callbacks. Since GV does not have a callback number, I don't get it.

Nimbizz: either goes black and freezes and I have to restart my phone, or it says, Nimbizz is not responding, force quit?

Then when I sign back in, it shows that my Skype account under Nimbizz is offline, whereas just a minute before it was online and I was able to make calls.

Also, when Skype is working, I can call out, but I cannot get any incoming calls.

Or it says, Activity Phone (in process.com.android.phone) is not responding, force close.

My Gizmo5 account is set up properly and my Google Voice phone number has been verified by the developer himself. I sincerely recommend fishsticksfromguam's programs as he goes out of his way to help.

Below are the instructions that I have followed:

1. Login in Gizmo5 and under the "FORWARDING" tab, select the option

"Forward All Calls", and enter your gtalk email address, hit save and log out.

2. On my Desktop computer, I start the official Google Talk client.

3. Login to Google Voice and under Settings menu, I added a new Phone

with my Gizmo5 telephone number and I selected "GIZMO" as the phone

type.

4. Google will now attempt to call your Gizmo5 number to verify it.

Since you've forwarded ALL Gizmo5 calls to your gTalk, it will come in

on your Google Talk Client where you can now answer the call and verify it!

*** YOU HAVE NOW VERIFIED YOUR GIZMO5 NUMBER ***

5. Install Nimbuzz (or Fring) on your Android phone, and ensure your

Google Talk is set up properly to receive voice calls.

6. Install Google Voice Call Advanced, enter your Google Voice

Username & Password, and for the Callback number, enter your full

Gizmo5 callback number (ie. 17475551212), and select "GIZMO5" as the

phone type. Select "Use GV for all calls". Hit Apply.

*** You should now be able to make FREE phone calls using your Android Phone ***

The problem is, I can't! Any advice please?

BOUNTY OF AT LEAST $20 through Paypal if you can get this working properly!

I expanded my SD and moved Avatar from the 2GB card onto a 16GB, however i am not sure where i need to place the file so it links up with the avatar icon on the device. Any help would be great!
[Vibrant General] Uejji:
avatar.dcf goes into a directory called Movie on the SD card
[Vibrant General] efbenson:
The icon wont work but you can put it anywhere and run it from the movie player.
[Vibrant General] Eazail70x7:
I downloaded the system dump and tried to install the avatar.apk but it didn't work. Is it even possible for me to install it?
[Vibrant General] chaoscentral:
why would you want to its just a shortcut that launches the movie. not the movie itself
[Vibrant General] dashed:
Not trying to be a douche but this isnt android development.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Were you able to successfully move the file. I've heard it can't be moved, if it can be moved that would be awesome so I can put my 16GB card in my phone.

[Vibrant General] unit3890:
I was able to move it to my dad's 8gb card. I put it in the supplied card reader and put it in my computers card reader. Then i attached the phone to the computer with the supplied cable with the 8gb card IN THE PHONE. Next i just did a simple cut and paste with the movie folder on the T-Mobile 2gb memory card.

ETA- It works with the icon too.

How to play avatar.dcf file onto another device

How i have a friend who has the samsung vibrant and let me copy the avatar movie but it is in .dcf file and my nexus one does not recognize the movie. i just wanted to know if anyone knows how to make it work with other devices including my pc and my nexus one.
[Vibrant General] jroid:
it's 3gp file last time I checked when i mounted my phone
[Vibrant General] mpena0689:
thats weird im positive i see the file name as avatar.dcf and my nexus one will not play it do you know how by any chance?
[Vibrant General] acjames:
Its a dcf file and i have been searchin most of the day to find a player on Android. It plays in WM just fine.
[Vibrant General] richse:
Just grab any one of the million free programs that can convert .3gp to .avi.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
i just copied the whole folder to my 8gb folder and it worked fine with the avatar icon...? don't know what you did?
[Vibrant General] hoseb007:
ok wen u copied ur 2gb to 8gb u just moved the files, this is wat u need to do so it can work, will work on any size card.
[Vibrant General] renegadedj:
the avatar movie file is a dcf. it loads using DRM protocol on the vibrant. it can't be distributed to another system. unless you can get around the rights usage on it. which i can't. lol
[Vibrant General] jkbhso3:
the 3gp file is just a 3 minute trailer the actual movie file is a dcf file and is 1.4gb, the "avatar" icon in the apps menu is an actual app the plays the dcf file for the movie. right now im trying to copy both the dcf and the 3gp file to my sd card from my friends new vibrant then i adb pull /system/avatar/ /android for the apk file to install on to my nexus one. we'll see if the apk will install.
[Vibrant General] james105:
The trailer file is a 3gp but the actually move is a dcf
[Vibrant General] jkbhso3:
Adb pull /system/apps/avatar and pushing it to any other phone doesn't work. I think it looks for a signature of the phone model and if it doesn't match up it wont install. Maybe some editing of the files will help make it work. Also with some research of the 1.4gb file dcf file is actually encrypted so either the vibrant or the app has the key. I will look into this further when I get a chance to mess with my buddy's vibrant again. The dcf file has a better resolution than one I can make with my copy of the DVD into a 3gp which is my reason for doing this. :cool:
[Vibrant General] bwinger79:
The apk is odex'd....so you can just pull it from the Vibrant and attempt to install it on another phone. Anyone got a deodex'd dump......DM me and I will make it work. Should be able to alter the SD path to the movie as well so you dont have to keep it in the "Movie" folder.
[Vibrant General] tromano:
hi there, i would love it if you could tell me how to make this work. I had briefly had the tmobile vibrant and had pulled it to my computer. now, have the epic on sprint and don't see why this shouldn't work but i can't seem to get it to work....
[Vibrant General] gbakabg:
Make sure the avatar is in adw folder called movie and it should work no problem
[Vibrant General] davemw2:
delet wrong thread
[Vibrant General] Phateless:
Did you ever get what you need? I have my Vibrant all stock and up for sale right now so I'm happy to grab whatever.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Hey guys, does anybody know or have a wise guess as to when we'll have this device with the French operators (SFR, Orange...)

I know Bouygues has it for contract renewal but not new contracts, and Fnac.com says they will have it the 20th.

This is really stupid, i mean the American operators have all announced theirs and made communications campaigns (if we can call these campaigns) and the British and Aussies have it out. But the French ones, what a bunch of idiots, we have absolutely no clue, and the retailers don't even know the phone exists, they think it's the Spica or something [Rant OFF]

So, if anyone has any educated guess, that would help.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] i6bazar:
virgin has it for 29€ with a new paradyse contract :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
I'm gonna buy mine from www.phoneandphone.com on SFR
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
My main issue with Virgin is that their coverage is not as good as the other big 2.5 (mostly Orange and SFR) and their speed is rather slow as well.

I'd be very careful with phoneandphone.com, it's what i wanted to do at first but i kept reading some terrible reviews, the few shops they have in Paris had horrible reviews as well so i decided against it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkymedes:
So I guess your best bet is to buy from eBay? A brand new unlocked from Germany is around 465 euros
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aweb:
Lol. Virgin is on Orange's network so the coverage is the same.

But yeah, the speed totally sucks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Yea ur right Virgin is on the same network but they have a speed cap (3G only and not 3G+)

Phone is officially available on Bouygues however. They have some interesting offer, only major major issue is that you can't download files larger than 5mb on HTTP, which renders downloading docs, updates, podcats, webradio... impossible. It's a big concern people are really complaining about.

Can anybody on Bouygues re-confirm this is still the case?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Hahaha. Had the exact same experiences here in Denmark. And they were in carrier stores. The sales staff didn't even know of the Galaxy S less than a week before they started selling it... I'm guessing they're NOT phone geeks.

I just read an interesting article:

Hope someone ports this app to the nexus1 soon
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to Themes and apps.

I completely agree. Someone should please port this to the N1.

Funny app ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gupta.keshav94:
Yeah.. Plz someone port it..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
This strikes me as incredible dumb, and incredibly naive on the part of Samsung. They really should not be promoting such a dangerous habit. It might "help" by showing you the road, but you are still distracted. Can;t wait to see samsung sued for such a blatantly stupid feature
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Konqeror:
It's not meant for driving, but WALKING, you know that thing that doesn't involve a vehicle? Everyone thinks everyone needs to get sued these days. Give it a break.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aasdd:
totally agree, dont do it !!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
+1 this will just encourage more texting and driving making the driver feel they are in more control.not good for those of us that ride.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qubz:
ah it's for walking..

now back to the topic - anyone gonna port this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
Yes, because when you think ROAD you think "Lets talk a walk", moron. They can say its for walking, that doesnt mean people wont use it while driving. In fact, I'd wager the majority of its users will be driving.

Obviously, your brain was not made for THINKING, you know that thing where you make logical inferences based on the information present.
[Vibrant General] jimagic:
Hi,

I am very new to android and vibrant coming from jailbreak and unlock iphone.

I have few question and would appreciate if anyone answer.

1. Can i use vibrant without data plan? I have wifi at home and work

2. Do i have to root the vibrant? what the benefit doing it?

Appreciate in advance.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
If you buy the phone at full retail (IE no contract) then get voice only service, I don't see a problem with that. If you want a discounted phone then the deal is off.

you do not have to do anything. Android is perfectly good without rooting... Rooting can give you many for features, quicker upgrades to the latest OS and choice between skins like sense and standard android. To behonest there are too many things to list that can be done with a rooted phone, but its does not need to be done.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Xfyler:
1st I found that Motorola Droid/Milestone is capable of USB host mode

tombom.co.uk/blog/?p=124

2nd root is possible on Milestone

knowyourmobile.com/motorola/motorolamilestone/milestoneuserguides/381918/how_to_root_the_motorola_milestone.html

3rd Android can chroot debian

android-hilfe.de/anleitungen-fuer-motorola-milestone/26870-how-debian-chroot-mit-lxde-auf-dem-milestone.html

So can I run aircrack-ng on debian and use connected USB wifi adapter with it?

or is there any other device which can do that?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 1xinfusion:
i believe you need to be able to put your wifi adapter (the wifi chip in the phone) to a certain mode, i forget what. it varies from phone to phone as different phones use different components.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] samaldis:
yes it could work, you would just have to get airmon-ng working to run the card in monitor mode (think thats what you were thinking of x1infusion).. let me know if you have any luck as I am trying the same with my x10..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CyclicFlux:
I know Im a little late in replying, however just stumbled across the topic. But there is a new app in the market place called shark(ethereal/wireshark), this is def. right along those lines. Furthermore, I believe it could def. be beneficial to check out the possibility of dropping a symbian or debian OS on the device. These have full linux potential as well as I have seen instances when both of these have been flashed to the A855(traditional droid). However Im not sure if they can be used on the milestone
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CyclicFlux:
Also, it the card(wifi) would have to be put in active/promiscous mode as its traditionally called. I know that depending on the chip it does vary but I am not too sure about mobile Wi-Fi chips
[HD2 General] c_arivazhagan:
Friends / Experts,

Is there a way to get the weather update through Active Sync on HD2.

I don't have data plan, I use T-Mobile prepaid connection.

My phone is docked with my laptop most of the time in the OFFICE.

I have internet in my office network.

What is preventing to use internet in my HD2 from office network?

Is there a 3rd party weather program that gets updates through ActiveSync?

Thanks, Ari
[HD2 General] watcher64:
I don't think there is with the standard Sense weather, it updates from the towers ....

There is a few weather apps, hmm check this thread for one ...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Is your HD2 able to access anything online when you're connected like that? It's possible that you don't have the option in your activesync/WMDC set to allow the internet connection to be passed through to the phone. The exact location of that setting varies depending on whether you're using activesync or WMDC on the laptop, but it's in the connection settings of whichever you use.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Just got the phone today, have an issue with the market. Every app I try to download, fails, says thatcdownload was not successful. Any ideas? Anybody else having problems? Also, if I try and do factory data reset, it fails as well.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Odd man, no issue here... sorry I cant offer anything up.
[Vibrant General] Neffstarr:
no everything ok here but i do have an isue with Google GPS on the maps??
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
no problems with market either.
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
My Market keeps losing connection every now and then.
[Vibrant General] Essien:
Market works fine for me as well tho on occasion it takes a little while to load the "services description" after hitting install on an application.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
I had no problems what so ever with the market before i rooted the phone
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ that makes it sound like you have an issue AFTER rooting? But you did not explain.... so I assume you do not have an issue?
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Haven't rooted it yet even. I'm thinking something wrong with the rom on my phone. Am at the gym now, was going to go to the store and try to get a replacement after.
[Vibrant General] gagan512:
Just picked up a brand new vibrant and I'm having market issues. Unsuccessful downloads. NO root BTW. Some apps initially installed but now it doesn't work anymore despite several reboots
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
Correct. I was chiming in that I had no issues until I changed something.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Just came back from Tmobile. Got a replacement, tested market at the store and updated maps and installed Pandora with no issues. Drove home, issue came back! Blenheim, it is not my phone, something is going on here!
[Vibrant General] gagan512:
spoke to the folks over at tmobile611 and they said that since our plans get 'reset' when buying a new phone, such issues are possible. they advised the usual 48hr period to see if the problem goes away.

interestingly, my 3g works for web browsing and everything else. its only the market that's having an issue, even over WiFi.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Unlikely, I paid full retail as I am on even more plus and I'm not even the primary on my account. My gf got the slide last week, she hasn't had any problems like this.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
I fixed it!!! Not sure which one of the things did it, but here is what I've done!

A) in settings, manage apps, clear cache for market AND market updater AND download manager. I also force stopped them all!

B) under settings, manage networks, switched to 2g only for 39 seconds, then unchecked the box again. After, I went ahead and searched for networks and hit select automatically.

Then bow market is working, knock on the wood!
[Vibrant General] gagan512:
no luck here..

tried the steps u've mentioned a couple times over. cleared the cache, switched to 2g then back to 3g, still getting the download error. =/
[Vibrant General] gagan512:
interesting.. i put my SIM back in my mytouch3g and the market worked just fine (after it prompted me to enter my password again).

put the SIM back in the Vibrant, entered market, input password on being asked, and AGAIN NO DOWNLOADS!
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
Danger, I'm sorry, that's what I've done and it still is working. Annoying issue for sure, if I find anything else, I will post it here. Maybe somebody else has a better solution?
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
I am having problems with my market as well and the above suggestion didn't help. Suck!
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
the advice given to me over in the root your vibrant thread was to sign into google talk first, then open the market. It works, most of the time, although the majority of the time it doesnt install the first time and I have to hit retry once or twice. But it does work.
[Vibrant General] Lieu10ant:
i dont have this phone yet, but it happens on all android phones, it's google trying to authenticate ur google account. to fix this, download the app first, and when it hangs at "downloading...." or whatever, go into the gtalk app, "Talk" and sign in, when you do. it should automatically start, because that forces the "authentication" when you sign in.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
thanks for that explanation, it actually makes sense and I was wondering about the reason behind why it works. Thanks again, i love this forum!
[Vibrant General] gagan512:
i may have found a solution to this.

having struggled with my vibrant that had this issue yesterday, i resorted to doing a factory backup. ofcourse, my luck had it that the menu item to do this was broken, so i booted into recovery (hold(vol up + vol dn) + power) and did an 'erase all data'.

i ended up swapping the phone for another unit at the store anyway, and the market was fine using that.

this morning, i had the same problem! tried all the steps suggested in this thread again to no avail. finally this solved my problem - boot into recovery, 'erase cache data' and then reboot device. sign into google talk (to authenticate) and then market worked just fine!

hope this helps.
[Vibrant General] moonrock:
I'd like to note that my market problems went away after af ew hours of having the device last night.

Just give it time!
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
have no idea if this is relatd or just timing but i installed AppAware and now when i click the market icon, the market comes up as usual, but it searches quicker, downloads quicker and when the pop up for download complete comes up, it says "AppAware downloaded xxxx successfully". So smooth, no network time out errors like before, no long search times, etc. Again, not sure if the market would have "smoothed out" on its own or whether AppAware is caching or what, but I'm not gonna rock the boat lol
[Vibrant General] designerfx:
that guy on the 2nd page was correct - clear market, market downloader and that downloaded thing or whatever - clear cache and stop all 3. once they finally download and re-start, downloads will work properly.

aka solution - "A) in settings, manage apps, clear cache for market AND market updater AND download manager. I also force stopped them all!"
[Vibrant General] zimphishmonger:
I have a similar market issues.....wondering if anyones run into it?

The market is SOOO laggy. It takes up to 30 seconds to go between the main Market screen and the download screen (without any spinner). No data is going up or down, during that process. Also, when downloading\installing an app...it takes another 30 seconds or so after I hit install for the Okay or cancel options to come up (they came up instantly on my G1).

I cleared all my market cache, market downloader, etc and I am rooted.

Anyone w/ a suggestion or advice. This market issue is really a deal killer, as it takes like 5 minutes to install an app, let alone do several updates.

Thanks! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmulligan:
From time to time I have found my battery charge is being consumed at an alarming rate.

The first symptoms are that the back of my phone gets hot and the UI is very sluggish. When I check Top I find that ksoftirqd/0 is utilizing 100% cpu and SystemPanel agrees and it also tells me that the cpu is running at 1GHz. Normally I see it at 25% of that. No wonder my battery is getting hot and running down quickly.

Restarting the phone is the only fix I have found so far. Also I have not been able to determine a specific action that triggers the effect.

Does this happen to anyone else? What is ksoftirq/0?

I am running an Asian i9000 with the version i9000DXJF4 rom that it came with.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmulligan:
This happens to me once every two days. Is't this happening to anyone else?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmulligan:
I've found only one other post on this. ksoftirqd/0 eats CPU and battery

What log file is XQC referring to? How and where do I access it? I tried looking for /var/log/messages or dmesg. No luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] matty___:
The 2.5 kernel version from the samset custrom thread fixed it for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724576
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XQC:
I was referring to the output of alogcat, which you can find on the market ;)

You also have a log output with the app called OSmonitor.

Since then I installed Juicedefender. Primary effect of the app is to reduce the battery drainage and it does so by activating Wifi and 3G only every 15 minutes and keeping it off otherwise. And so the secondary effect is, that ksoftirqd/0 remains silent because Wifi is not permanently on.

Of course this is just a workaround and not real a solution for the underlying problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmulligan:
Funny, I haven't had this happen much lately. However it happened today and I tried turning off wifi and the problem stopped immediately. Even turning wifi back on didn't cause it to come back. Thanks!
